Looks like the French Socialists have been up to their old tricks! Equal misery for all!

When I was young (no comments).... The Olympics was the biggest thing... like everywhere...
I didn't even know until I searched the Opening ceremony was tonight... I knew it was close.... but other than see some posh twit beat up a horse, I've hardly heard a word..
Sad, used to be a great way of bringing the country together..

I don't give a shit
I am totally ambivalent about it… It's like it's not even happening
Hopefully I will get into the spirit of everything but at the moment… It seems like everything else is more important than this bank fest 4 for fit people

I blame the Russians.
At least I’m not travelling by Eurostar this weekend.

Every Olympics since 2012 I think I'm mot really into it, but as soon as we start winning medals I am. If football is the greatest sport as the frequency of goals is of a perfect level I think we are the prefect country for the Olympics in that every Gold is still noticed, unlike the US and China where it's 4 or 5 every day and becomes run of the mill.
I can remember in 2016 when our Girls were in the Hockey final I was looking forward to that final match on a Fri evening as much as if it was a football match. (and haven't watched a single game of hockey since lol).

Those blummin socialists get everywhere don’t they. It’s almost as though people have forgotten what a socialist is.
The Olympics are a big thing in our house, we’ve already been watching the Handball, and a bit of footer. With S being a runner, athletics is the favourite, but S is planning to watch as much as she can.
I’m not interested in the opening ceremony (of anything), so while the family watch that I’ll be off to Bournemouth to a noisy gig.

I’ll be cheering on Roger Black.
I thought Iwan Thomas was a Saints fan because I saw him at Villa Park once when we were playing but Wiki says he’s Spurs.
Boo!

Afternoon from darkest Essex
We like the Olympics and will be watching...in fact we even made a fair effort at trying to go, but the punitive prices (800+ each for anything worth travelling over for) and annoying timing (the best stuff's all around when I'm busy at work) put paid to that
It's very disappointing that most of it will be hidden away on pay TV too...so won't get sucked in to some mad sport you never thought you were interested in
Bloody French, the brexiteers were right all along.

If you want to watch all the sports then it's the Discovery+ app. Which is free if you have Sky. (like any sensible person will). |

Doesn't feel that sensible to give them £100 a month when you don't even get the phone and Internet thrown in. |
